This month of May, come together for a short recollection as we celebrate the month of Mother Mary and Mother's Day.
In a world filled with counterfeit devotions, it's crucial to distinguish between what’s true and what’s not when honoring Mary. Through guided craftwork and reflection, this recollection invites us to recognize and avoid false devotions, while guiding us to choose the most perfect and sanctifying path—one that glorifies God and pleases Him most.
